    I had a WCIPA from them this Summer on cask. It was delicious. Cans of it could probably be amazing! I need to go buy some Oasis. And 8 Bit. Now.

    At the Rochester Craft Beer fest this year (first year) they had some Oasis on tap that was dry hopped and infused with peaches, it was so freaking good. Love their stuff. Newt's had Buffalo Sweat on nitro for awhile too, they need to bring that back.

    Hey y'all - 8-Bit demand has been incredible (thanks to you guys), so we've had to play a bit of catch up (limited tank space) to make sure we were producing enough. We're getting close to releasing Vanilla Bean Sweat (Jan), and will be following that up with a couple other releases not long after. So, stay tuned...and yes, our final test batches of WCIPA (name to be announced later) is tasting DANK!

    Moved from NE to CO and miss Tallgrass with the quickness.... They on shelves out here about a year ago for a few months then must have pulled back.

    I miss the firkins/infusions, Rob. It's been quiet up here in MN from you lately. I understand the "growing pains" you're going through, it's nice to see your cans on the shelves here. A certain coveted brewery has issues staying in our area, not pointing any fingers.
    Highly anticipating your new releases! Hoping for some sweet special tappings in the future.

    I thought that "Princess Peach" was 8 Bit on Firkin with peaches. I could be wrong, but that's what I saw on teh tweeter.

    That's correct. And A-Team is the IPA with Apricots. I have also had Alper Glow (Halycon with something I can't recall) and my favorite Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster (Oasis dry-hopped with galaxy hops). I'm sure I am forgetting others. Love the casks from Tallgrass!

    thank you for remembering that I knew it something delish.

    On another note, is the fresh batch of Oasis different from the
    previous batches? It now says "Dry Hopped Imperial ESB" atop the can.
    I knew that was the "style" but wasn't sure if different dry hops were featured here.

    It's always been dry-hopped, it's just called out better on the packaging now!
